Dhesni Naidoo - New Leaf Therapies
About me
Do you feel alone, worried, stressed or afraid? Or maybe just unsettled and on edge? Sometimes life can be difficult and we may need a helping hand to overcome the stresses and strains of everyday life. Anxiety and depression can make you feel isolated and alone, grief sometimes affects us in ways we didn’t expect or we may feel angry with the world for no apparent reason. Whatever the problem, it helps to talk about it.
I am an experienced counsellor, hypnotherapist and life coach, working with people from all walks of life. I provide a safe and welcoming environment to help you feel comfortable without feeling judged or criticised. I will work with you to reach your end goal and ultimately feel better about yourself and your life. I use different techniques, depending on each client and structure each treatment plan accordingly. All sessions are confidential.
